Time
for a Holiday
Yes, I know the holidays
are over, but we're going to visit the MS Outlook calendar feature once
again and today's question is: Does your calendar contain holidays?
No?
What's a calendar without the
holidays?
To add them, you'll
need to go to the Tools menu, Options
choice.
Next, we're looking
for the Calendar section. Click the Calendar
Options button.
When the Calendar
Options window opens, you're looking for the Add Holidays button
in the middle.
Click it.
You'll be presented
with a list of available holiday sets.
Select all
the sets you want to add and click OK.
Outlook will then
import the dates to your calendar. When it's done, click OK
to go back out to Outlook and voila!
Now you can consider
your calendar complete!

P.S. - I found that
my version of Outlook XP only had holidays available through 2005, which
is obviously not very useful at this point in time. So, I went to Microsoft's
download center and entered "calendar updates"
as my search criteria. You'll then have to choose, download
and install the update that is for your Outlook version.
After completing the download, I was able to install holidays and now
I'm good until 2012!
